The Center for Teaching Excellence aims to support Xavier faculty in creating rich, collaborative learning environments that challenge our students intellectually, morally, and spiritually. The Center will promote effective teaching that is reflective, engaging, creative, and informed by both pedagogical and disciplinary knowledge.

Share Your Teaching Bright Spots
To encourage faculty to reflect on their work and share and learn from the experience, diversity, and expertise of their colleagues, we would like to highlight your positive teaching moments and successful classroom strategies, particularly those that others might adapt in their own teaching practices.
Submit your bright spot or nominate a colleague to share theirs
Syllabus Design
There is no standard syllabus format for every course at Xavier. Check with your department to see if there are departmental or college requirements for your syllabi.
For language to describe inclusive teaching, university policies, and student support services, review the CTE's suggested syllabus components.
